Paul Ozin presents ACCA’s successful disciplinary proceedings against a former ACCA Council member found guilty of dishonesty

Paul Ozin presented the case in the Disciplinary Committee of the ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) the global body for professional accountants against JP, a former ACCA Council Member who ran an international network of independent accountancy firms, auditors and consultants.

JP was found by ACCA’s Disciplinary Committee “guilty of misconduct in that he provided false and/or misleading information to an independent publisher about the nature of the relationship between Parker Randall International and a international network of accountants, which was dishonest and/or contrary to the Fundamental Principle of Integrity”.

The Disciplinary Committee ordered that JP be excluded from membership and pay costs.

ACCA’s regulations require ACCA to publish the Committee’s findings and orders by way of a news release, as soon as practicable. The Committee has discretion as regards to which publications the news release should be sent, and discretion in exceptional circumstances to direct that the relevant person is not named. The Committee ordered that the news release should be issued to ACCA’s website and to the local press, referring to JP by name. See ACCA’s Press Release.
